Microsoft, the OMG and the MDA
-
and Microsoft - Michael Guttman (OMG), BPT, second article, SAT-04-SEP-2004 - ''[Steve Cook] continues to distance himself and Microsoft from current developments in the MDA, UML, and OMG arena.'', ''Does Microsoft really want to foster universal tool interoperability? And, if they do believe in universal interoperability, what抯 their alternative to an open process like the OMG and a set of open standards like MDA?'', ''by remaining on the outside, Microsoft risks making its own claims rhetorical, especially to those customers who want true universal tool interoperability, not just some Microsoft imposed, Microsoft-centric solution.'', ''So, if Microsoft goes its own way with model-driven development, Microsoft customers with mixed environments will have (at least) two MDA-like environments to manage and integrate.'' -
Tech Talk: Keith Short on & UML/CASE tools - Keith Short (Microsoft), TheServerSide.com, FRI-30-JUL-2004 - ''I think is one of the things that's sort of lacking in the MDA story, is that in the MDA's reliance on the UML models which are not very precisely defined in all cases, makes it a little difficult to see how that is all going to pan out and make a real impact on how software is actually developed over and above how software might be thought about and documented.'' -
Microsoft's VSTS Goal: Creating a Mass Market for Enterprise Tools - Darryl Taft interviews Rick LaPlante (Microsoft), eWEEK, THU-29-JUL-2004 - ''There isn't a mass market for an enterprise tool. The data that we have is the largest independent vendor of enterprise tools is homebuilt.'', ''The challenge that we have with UML [...] is that UML is a good set of tools for a certain set of problems.'', ''The challenge with the UML model is everything has to be described in the terms of what UML already understands.'', ''And I think, with all respect to Grady [Booch, co-creator of UML], I think we're a long way away from executable UML.'', ''And the challenge is because there is such a transformation in the semantics, between the underlying implementation into a UML model, that isn't exactly precise to that domain.'', ''Right now UML is fairly based on the MOF [Meta Object Facility], which is based on IBM's Ecore, which is based on Java.'' -
Microsoft Modeling Is on the Runway - Jennifer deJong, SD Times, THU-01-JUL-2004 - ''Our Class Designer doesn抰 deviate from UML for the sake of it'', ''Our strategy is UML and more'', ''But Microsoft did not have to deviate from UML in order to achieve its modeling goals'', ''the company chose to develop its own version of UML抯 Class diagram because it is the most widely used of all UML diagrams'', ''Microsoft also plans to create its own version of the Sequence diagram, which represents the flow of an application'' -
Moving to Software Factories - Jack Greenfield & Keith Short (Microsoft), THU-17-JUN-2004 - ''We are using UML for documentation, but we are using models based on small, focused, domain specific languages (DSLs) for automation.'', ''Like MDA, we are interested in models. However, we are less concerned with portability and platform independence than MDA, and more concerned with productivity.'', ''Unlike MDA, we do not propose to use UML where programmatic manipulation of models is a key requirement.'', ''We use UML for discussion, sketching diagrams on whiteboards and napkins'' -
Model Driven Architecture and Domain Specific Modeling - Steve Cook (Microsoft), BPT, second article, THU-01-APR-2004 - ''the version of Visio that comes with Visual Studio Enterprise Architect provides an excellent implementation of UML, and supports both code generation and reverse engineering'', ''Microsoft does not wish to compete with the OMG抯 modeling initiative.'', ''We are not in any way opposed to UML, although we would like to put into perspective its value and its capabilities.'', ''conformance to OMG modeling specifications in the market is low'', ''There are no published standards that actually specify the details of this [MDA] codegeneration process.'', ''It seems that if you generate any kind of code from some part of UML, then you are doing MDA.'', ''we focus on tuning up our process to be seamless and reversible, rather than MDA-compliant.'' -
Gates sees more modeling, less coding - Rich Seeley, ADTmag.com, TUE-30-MAR-2004 - ''visual modeling tools [...] will reduce software coding 揵y a factor of five?', ''as visual modeling evolves over the next decade, non-programmers, such as business analysts, will be able to make adjustments to software systems quickly without writing code'' -
A Different Model for Microsoft - Carol Sliwa, Computerworld, MON-22-MAR-2004 - ''no plans to build tools to support UML and MDA'', ''fully behind the generic idea of model-driven development'', ''Microsoft believes there's a need for models closely tied to the operating system'', ''the UML/MDA camp promotes the notion 'that you can model once and write your code on a number of platforms', but that's not effective in practice'', ''Whitehorse will help users to create diagrams based on the DSLs'', ''logical infrastructure designer'', ''service-oriented application designer'', ''class designer'', ''users shouldn't expect 100% code generation, since they will still need to write business logic'' -
A Response to Steve Cook - Michael Guttman (OMG), BPT, TUE-03-FEB-2004 - '''UMLAsProgrammingLanguage,' Fowler抯 highest form, is simply dismissed by Cook as 'unlikely to gain headway commercially.''', ''Mr. Cook抯 characterization of UML only makes sense if your context is limited entirely to Microsoft抯 own offerings.'', ''while the OMG and its members were busy developing UML, MOF and MDA [...] Microsoft largely sat on the sidelines.'', ''Microsoft is planning to compete pretty much across the board with the OMG.'', ''It抯 COM vs. CORBA again, but on a bigger scale.'' -
Designing applications with 慦hidbey?/B> - Keith Short (Microsoft), DNJ Online, THU-01-JAN-2004 - ''For the two scenarios that we wanted to hit, which is web service design and design for deployment, there is no equivalent in UML'', ''The difficulty is that if you want to use those languages in development [...] then you have to have a degree of precision underneath each one, and that sadly is lacking in the UML world.'', ''the general notion that you can express all the semantics of an executable program using the UML meta-model, in the same way that a programming language would, is just a dream at best.'', ''We抮e also concerned about the very strong emphasis in MDA of models being platform-independent versus platform-specific.'', ''they really don抰 say a lot about the different kinds of models in a platform-independent model.'', ''how can you major on platform-independent versus platform-specific models when the platform-independent model at least from the OMG is predominantly Java?'', ''although the 慉?in MDA is supposed to stand for 慉rchitecture? MDA isn抰 an architecture. It doesn抰 say anything about how applications are structured, or how you go about building them.'' -
Domain-Specific Modeling and Model Driven Architecture - Steve Cook (Microsoft), BPT, THU-01-JAN-2004 - ''In summary, MDA is misnamed'', ''it does not address the broader issues involved in using integrated models, patterns, frameworks, and tools synergistically to support software product lines'', ''where we discover that UML notation is not clear enough, we抣l supplement it with our own forms'', ''the diagrams are not legal UML by the letter of the standard'', ''We do not think that XMI is the right approach for model serialization'', ''Microsoft does not support MOF'' -
Modeling for .NET - Deborah Melewski & Jack Vaughan, ADTmag.com, THU-01-JAN-2004 - ''Microsoft works to roll out its code-named 'Whitehorse' design tools'', ''appears ready to make its modeling moves without committing to UML or MDA standards'' -
What's behind Microsoft's Whitehorse modeler? - Jack Vaughan, ADTmag.com, TUE-16-DEC-2003 - ''It is oriented for 'design for operations', allowing users to specify logical infrastructure requirements'', ''Whitehorse will ship with Microsoft's Whidbey'', ''it was not intrinsic to the offering, but that UML modeling could be supported via add-ons'', ''We believe in model-driven development - although we also believe in traditional development with code'', ''OO approaches may not be the best solutions for such work'', ''They are not interested in UML or MDA'', ''The mere fact that Microsoft is promoting modeling is notable'' -
